Torts and contracts are usually between individuals, and not the individual and state with reference to crime. Parties to a contract and torts are liable in case of a breach and the government is only liable when it comes to the laws that have been set up to govern torts and contracts.

Is genetic testing ethically right?
Ultimately yes because it is for the better good, as genetic diseases are a constant problem in todays society. This matter should be resolved immediately. People should be locked away. For example down syndrome would be better aborted and should be by the mothers will or not. On the contrary, people argue people have a right to know. However, truth is what we want not lies like god is a lie. On the whole genetic screening is right to do. The facts: Genetic diseases can be researched and MAY OR MAY NOT be able to be cured by the systems which geneticists have made. In all of the theological texts that are most prominent in today's society, The Qur'an, The Torah, and The Holy Bible say specifically that human life begins at the time of conception and that murdering another human being is unethical. Thus, according to these theological texts, those who follow the advice of such texts would consider genetic screening unethical because a few people are murdered in the process. HOWEVER, I do not believe that my belief nor my lack of belief ought to be posted here because some people fall into Athiesm and Christianity because SOMEONE ELSE told them to. Your choice or your lack of choice is your choice. Build a house before you furnish it.

Briefly compare and contrast tortuous liability and contractual liability?
These are separate, although sometimes converging areas of law and liability. Contractual liability means that a party to a contract has somehow breached the contract and when taken to court will be held liable for the contract or at least for the loss to the nonbreaching party as a result of the breach. Tort is a separate type of liability that has to do with civil wrongs and gives a cause of action for the injured party. For example, an individual tripping and falling in a grocery store on a puddle of water may have a tort claim but would not have a contract claim against the store.
